Kevin Mench Scouting Report
It occurs to me, after glancing at some old fantasy mags, that Kevin Mench is supposed to be a 35-HR slugger. He’s got the power, he’s got the body, and he’s got the major-league experience. After 1,500 MLB at-bats it’s either 30/100 this year, or 25/75 for the next 5 seasons.

Chad Billingsley Scouting Report
A lot of names get kicked around in prospect rankings that tend to draw their cachet only by virtue of being mentioned so often. 99% of fantasy owners have never seen Alex Gordon swing a bat. And if you want a big surprise, take a look at Howie Kendrick. A lot of the time we [...]

Finally, a Giants’ pitching prospect who can break a pane of glass with a fastball. They got burned with Jesse Foppert, Kurt Ainsworth, and Jerome Williams (all because of injuries). [...]

Casey Kotchman Scouting Report
Sometimes the season’s over and you’re looking at your fantasy magazines trying to figure out why you didn’t save room on your team for that year’s breakout players. Mixed league owners don’t have to be ashamed of missing out on guys like Jason Bay or Travis Hafner in their bust-out seasons. So you missed out [...]

Dick Bavetta
How can you not be impressed by the fact that Dick Bavetta has refereed 2,135 consecutive games and that’s not even including his playoff and finals work…For as much as people knock refs gotta say that’s an extremely impressive mark to reach.
